Summary
Disney showed a second Doctor Doom costume from "Avengers: Doomsday" at D23, giving fans a new look at Robert Downey Jr.'s returning Marvel villain.
The newly displayed suit looks less battle-ready than the version seen in the first trailer: smoother mask, fewer armor plates, no shoulder pads, and leather gloves and boots.
Those design changes have fueled speculation that the outfit belongs to an earlier, more benevolent phase of Doom before a darker turn later in the film.
"Avengers: Doomsday" is set for theatrical release on Dec. 18, 2026, with Doom's portrayal carrying added weight after past live-action Fantastic Four films struggled with the character.
